After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Chapter 20: Passed the imperial examination, a noble son of the Han family!

On the wall in front of the Imperial Examination Hall, there were dozens of pieces of rice paper posted. In addition to giving the students' rankings, they also wrote the students' native places, family backgrounds, and father generations.

It is to let everyone know the origin of this student and whether his ancestors have ever been glorious. It is also to declare that from today on, he is the revivalist of the family.

And this is the first gift that successful Jinshi candidates are eager to cherish.

At the top of the list, there is a ranking list written in special materials, which belongs to the first place in the imperial examination.

It is commonly known as "Huiyuan".

At this moment, on this top list, Han Ming never dreamed that his name would be listed so high up there.

"First place, Huiyuan, Han Ming, courtesy name Jingyuan, nickname Mingge'er, nickname..."

"Born to...great-grandfather..."

"My grandfather, Han Zhang, was the co-minister of the Secretariat and Grand Secretary of the Jixian Hall, and the second-place winner in the imperial examination at the age of nineteen..."

"My father, Han Shipu, was the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture and the magistrate of the Three Departments of Salt and Iron. He was later appointed the magistrate of Yongning Army. He was later summoned to become the magistrate of the Ministry of Revenue."

"My ancestor is from Anyang County, Sōshū Prefecture..."

Most of the lengthy introduction is about Han Ming's grandfather and father, but this does not affect Han Ming's brilliance.

Because he proved that he had stronger test-taking ability than his grandfather Han Zhang and his father Han Shipu.

Huiyuan was someone even his grandfather looked up to when he was young.

Although being the top scorer does not necessarily lead to great success, this position means a worry-free life.

Han Ming stood there stupidly, still not quite believing it. He moved closer step by step, staring at the special list, and was overwhelmed by a huge surge of joy.

His hands and feet were trembling and sore. He did not have Sheng Changbai's ability to cultivate his Qi. Even if people in the future looked at this achievement, it would be something he could be proud of.

"I...won?" Han Ming still couldn't believe it.

"Brother...Brother...Brother won--!" Yong Zeng could no longer bear this huge surprise and roared heartbreakingly.

"Huiyuan?!"

"He's reached the top of the league?!"

"Is that Brother Han?!"

"real or fake?"

"..."

The scene instantly became lively, and everyone rushed over to catch a glimpse of the first place in the examination.

Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan were both pushed away. At the critical moment, Gu Er didn't care about the taboo between men and women, and took Minglan's hand and held her in his arms.

The huge impact of the crowd made Miss Sheng Liu a little nervous, but when she saw Gu Er standing up to protect her, she couldn't help but feel even more grateful.

"Second Uncle..."

"I'm sorry. I'll apologize to the Sixth Miss later."

The two of them were standing with difficulty in the crowd, and Han Ming, who was at the front, came to his senses and saw pairs of green eyes staring at him.

Among them, the most terrifying ones are the merchants who just framed Gu Tingye. They are trying to eat him alive.

"Everyone, calm down... calm down!" For the first time, beads of sweat appeared on Han Ming's forehead.

"Charge!" Some wicked person in the crowd shouted, and the next second, everyone rushed towards Han Ming.

"Brother! Follow me out!" Yong Zeng clenched his fists, pushed the group of crazy people left and right, and ran out with Han Ming.

"Zhong Huai, I'm not doing well here. I'll leave first. Please take care of Sixth Miss!"

Han Ming knew that he had to run away now, otherwise someone would come to "catch the son-in-law from the list". Although it would be very interesting if it got out, his family situation was such that his grandfather and father would beat him to death and he would have to start over.

"Don't worry about us, just go by yourself. I'll notify you when there is news!" Gu Tingye couldn't help laughing when he saw Han Ming in such a miserable state.

But the next second, his expression tightened and he shook his head slightly: "He is truly a god!"

"Uncle, why are you sighing? Everyone's fate is different in this world..." Minglan hid in Gu Tingye's arms and whispered to comfort him.

"Haha, forget about him, let's take care of our own business!" Holding Minglan, Gu Tingye was in a dilemma and easily got away from the crowd.

Finally seeing the light of day again, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gu Tingye quickly let go of Sheng Minglan, clasped his fists and bowed, apologizing very solemnly.

"Uncle, there is no need to apologize. Instead, Minglan should thank you for your help." Sheng Minglan bowed and expressed her gratitude generously.

"Sixth Miss, you are too polite. For Zecheng's sake, I should help you." Gu Tingye smiled faintly.

Just like that, the two began a simple chat until the crowd dispersed. Then Gu Tingye took Sheng Minglan back to the results wall and silently looked for his name.

The three people from Lin Qige were staring at Han Ming's back, at a loss as to what to do.

"Brother Jingyuan, he..." Molan looked like she didn't know what to say.

"Although the Han family doesn't have a title and can't compare to the Duke of Qi's Mansion among the nobles, in terms of real power and family background, they are also a very prominent family."

Lin Qinshuang seemed to think that Han Ming was a good choice compared to Qi Heng.

"I like Brother Yuanruo, how can I fall in love with someone else?" Molan continued to be stubborn.

"You..." Lin Qinshuang looked at Molan helplessly, sighed helplessly, and continued to help her son Changfeng find a ranking.

However, after a long time, they still couldn't find it, and the three of them became more and more panicked.

"Brother, where are you?" Molan gently pulled Chang Feng's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"I'm looking for it!"

Chang Feng's expression was a little ferocious. After all, he always prided himself on being extremely smart, and was not necessarily worse than Sheng Changbai.

But now, the other person ranked thirteenth in the exam, while he might fail. How could he not be furious?

"Impossible? How could there be nothing?" Sheng Changfeng muttered to himself, feeling like he was about to collapse.

Hearing Chang Feng's words, Lin Qinshuang helplessly scolded the servants behind her: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and look for it!"

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the three of them still found nothing. Sheng Changfeng completely collapsed: "It's impossible that there is nothing! I wrote it myself, how could I not have it!"

Sheng Changfeng's voice became louder and louder, which made Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan look unhappy.

"Speak less!" Molan scolded in a low voice.

An honest man nearby saw this and said softly, "Sir, this is your first time taking the exam, right? You're so young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"If you don't succeed this time, try again next time!"

Unfortunately, his kindness was taken for granted. The words of comfort now sounded so harsh and ironic. Sheng Changfeng exploded instantly and grabbed the man's collar viciously.

"What did you say?! What did you say?!"

"Son!"

"Son!"

The servants of the Sheng Mansion rushed over to break up the fight, but Sheng Changfeng had already lost his mind and was screaming frantically, "How could I fail the exam? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing Sheng Changfeng who was a little crazy, Molan was so scared that she said nothing and grabbed his arm tightly, fearing that something might happen.

Lin Qinshuang was so angry that she pushed Sheng Changfeng with her hand: "If you missed, you missed. What are you doing to embarrass yourself? Go back!"

The last sentence was filled with anger and a hint of helplessness.

Seeing Lin Qinshuang leaving, Molan kindly went to pull Changfeng and said, "Let's go!"

As a result, Sheng Changfeng angrily waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the list, motionless.

"Let's go~!" Molan pulled again a little at a loss, but Changfeng ignored her.

Seeing this, Molan lowered her head and left dejectedly, not daring to look around.

Just as some are happy and some are sad, Han Ming and Sheng Changbai both passed the high school entrance examination, which naturally made the Han and Sheng families very happy.

On the other hand, everyone in the Duke of Qi's Mansion fell into silence.

Buwei brought a group of servants back to the carriage of Duke Qi's Mansion. In the carriage, Duke Qi, Princess Pingning, and Qi Heng were sitting upright.

"How is it? What place?" Duke Qi asked nervously.

"I, I didn't see the young master's name." Buwei said cautiously.

"How is that possible?" Princess Pingning's expression changed slightly, and her tone became slightly higher.

Qi Heng's expression gradually hardened and his smile disappeared.

"We checked every corner, and there's really nothing." He didn't report honestly.

Hearing this, Princess Pingning's expression changed again and again, and finally she pursed her lips and said, "I'll go myself!"

"Mother!" Qi Heng was shocked and quickly stopped Princess Pingning.

"Don't go. They have four people and eight eyes, but they haven't found it in half a day. It's obvious that they really didn't find it."

Qi Heng's words did not dissuade Princess Pingning from her idea. She continued stubbornly, "What if these people are blind and miss something?"

After saying that, he stood up and got off the carriage, and rushed to the wall where the results were posted with his servants. Qi Heng kept shouting "mother", hoping that she would accept reality.

"Alas, your mother is just like that. After seeing this, she will give up!" Duke Qi comforted Qi Heng.

"It's my fault." Qi Heng said with some regret.

"It's rare to pass it on the first try. There haven't been many since the founding of this dynasty. If you don't pass this time, just try again next time!"

"Um..."

While the father and son were having a heart-to-heart talk, Princess Pingning came back with a stern face. Without saying much, she simply told the servant to "go back".

"Go home."

Seeing their mother's expressionless face, Duke Qi and his son looked at each other in silence.

Suddenly, Qi Heng seemed to think of something and suddenly shouted "Stop the car".

"What are you doing?" Princess Pingning looked at Qi Heng with a bad expression.

"It seems that Sheng Changbai and Han Ming have passed the imperial examinations. I've been in the same class with them for so long, so I should go and congratulate them."

Qi Heng brought out Han Ming, the big Buddha, and immediately left Princess Pingning speechless.

Although she looked down on the Sheng family for being a small family, she had to treat the Han family with courtesy. After all, they were a family of scholars, and with their status as the new champion, their future prospects were limitless.

Seeing that Princess Pingning's expression had eased a little, Duke Qi hurried to smooth things over.

"Yes, that's the proper etiquette."

Hearing that her husband had given her an opportunity, Princess Pingning also agreed without hesitation: "You go."

But he suddenly felt very entangled in this matter, his face darkened and he added: "I can't afford to lose this person!"

Qi Heng's face trembled slightly, then he bowed his head, stood up and left the carriage.
